I also know a ton of moms who smoked cigarettes their whole pregnancies with perfectly healthy children and no one is advocating cigarettes as being ok. So the whole "I know someone who did it" argument is invalid.

Purple Oreos,, I ain't mad at you or any other marijuana mamma on here. I'm also sad to hear about your cancer and hope you'll be in remission soon. Many of my close friends have smoked weed during pregnancy and their children turned out healthy, intelligent and socially "normal". Marijuana helped these women to curb nausea, relax anxiety and ease "growing pains".

urbanmomma87, I think you should verify your facts before making such bold and hysterical statements. People often fear what they do not know. Its fine and well that you don't smoke weed but don't be so quick and harsh to condemn something you don't know factually.

Smoking blunts or joints may be unhealthy because if the carcinogens in the "wrap". But smoking weed from a bong or water pipe has no effect on the development of your baby.

Thank you tdizzlemay for finding the proof! I have an inkling that those babies excelled because their mothers weren't stressed out or depressed during pregnancy so they were able to thrive from conception! But regardless the same as is with tobacco and alcohol, it's your baby and your body and really no one can tell you what to do, they can only make dissapproving comments and stare you down :)

I just dont know why anyone would even bother risking smoking a joint or having one glass of red wine etc. I think it's just not worth it....the baby is only in you for nine months, surely people can hold off...I just think it's silly to even consider doing anything that could potentially harm there LO.....I know I was a major heavy drinker and smoked before concieving but I couldnt be so selfish now to even consider it....just my opinon :)
